$18,000 andCall my crazy, but I'm going to guess it was Edwards what took the money.
Manager of
Fight Gone
NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 21.—Frankie Edwards, who last night promoted the Tony Canzoneri-Eddie "Kid" Wolfe fight which drew $21,526.43 was sought tonight by district attorney's office, charged with embezzling $18,000.
Canzoneri got his money but Wolfe, and the referees, were not paid. Sammy Goldman, Canzoneri's manager, got most of Tony's share before he entered the ring and lost the least.

Eddie "Kid" Wolfe was my uncle. Now I realize my bad luck comes from both sides of my family.
